A Message from Brian K. Will, TBA President
It is hard to believe that we are already entering into the month of July! There have been so many unprecedented and frustrating issues to face this year, challenging our association to raise the bar in terms of value provided to our members, sponsors, and the community. We are meeting those challenges head on and succeeding!
TBA was the first local association in the panhandle area to offer the annual events of a Golf Tournament, Parade of Homes, and the Saltwater Fishing Tournament – all of which exceeded member and sponsor participation!
Finally, the month of July brings two additional online events with one being TBR and TBA joint interviews for Leon County local candidate races, and the second being the SEBC virtual builders show, online continuing education credits, and sponsorship opportunities. Please contact the TBA Office for more information.
As we approach this Independence Day celebration, we must wonder what our forefathers are thinking. Have a wonderful Fourth of July Celebration!
Brian K. Will
as TBA President, 2020
